Eons Venerable Lord

The moment Ling Feng's finger touched the Dragon Phoenix Fruit, a loud explosion was heard. The entire world became restless. There was no Yuan energy in this world. All of a sudden, an incomparably dense Yuan energy swept out in all directions.    

"This..."    

"How can there be such a dense Yuan Qi?"    

"That's right, it's several times denser than our Azure Dragon Academy's Yuan Gathering Formation!"    

Everyone revealed a look of astonishment. Soon after, someone seemed to have realized something and shouted loudly, "Let's hurry up and recover! It's not easy to have the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth here!"    

Following a loud shout, the others also reacted and sat down cross-legged. They had consumed a lot of Yuan Qi just now. In this world without Yuan Qi, if they were unable to absorb even more Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, they would die of exhaustion later on.    

Although they could obtain Yuan Beads after killing demon beasts, so many demon beasts had died previously. Not a single Yuan Bead remained. Who knew if there were any more demon beasts behind?    

If there were no, then they would be miserable. Not to mention increasing their strength, even if their cultivation did not drop, they would still burn incense.    

At this moment, no one paid any attention to the matter of Ling Feng taking the Dragon Phoenix Fruit. It wasn't necessarily a good thing for them to obtain such a heaven defying divine item.    

After all, it was too heaven defying. Even Peak of Martial Emperor warriors had to have the life to take something that they coveted.    

In their point of view, although Ling Feng had obtained the Dragon Phoenix Fruit, once he left this place, he would be hunted down by countless powers.    

At this moment, Ling Feng didn't think too much about it. In his palm lay a beating blood-red heart. It was the Dragon Phoenix Fruit.    

"I should refine it here. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles if I leave this place!"    

Ling Feng thought to himself. Immediately, he opened his mouth and took a bite.    

Bang!    

Violent energy flowed down his throat into his body. Although it was cool in his mouth, the energy shocked him. It was too huge.    

However, Ling Feng knew that he had to devour the Dragon Phoenix Fruit as soon as possible. Otherwise, the energy would dissipate.    

Now that he had opened the third Gate of Pain, his physical strength was comparable to a Martial Emperor. There was nothing to worry about. He didn't believe that the Dragon Phoenix Fruit would explode him.    

When the fist-sized Dragon Phoenix Fruit entered his stomach, Ling Feng's skin turned blood-red, as if blood was going to ooze out at any moment.    

Violent energy took root in his body, filling his limbs and bones. All of his meridians instantly enlarged several times, and even his body became fat.    

Ling Feng quickly sat cross-legged on the altar and began refining.    

The energy crazily surged within his body, bringing him tremendous pain. However, he clenched his teeth tightly and circulated his technique.    

The blood sun in the sky also shot out a pillar of light that looked like blood. It poured down and enveloped Ling Feng within it.    

Ling Feng had also entered into a state of selflessness. He circulated the 'Lin' skill with all his might. He was the only one in this world.    

The Dragon Phoenix Fruit was a fruit that was formed from the blood essence of a dragon and a phoenix after their death. After experiencing another ten thousand years, or even tens of thousands of years, there was a chance that it would condense into a fruit. Naturally, there was no need to doubt the powerful energy contained within it.    

Furthermore, tens of thousands of demon beasts' blood essence had been fused into it. Although those demon beasts had been dead for an unknown period of time, and they were merely a shell, with such a huge amount of blood essence, there was naturally no lack of energy.    

Ling Feng was refining the energy bit by bit. His body was also staring at it at high speed. Ling Feng was using this energy to gather at the fourth gate, the Du Gate.    

The Du Gate was hidden in the spine, also known as the Dragon Bone. It was the middle axis and the pillar of the human body, the pillar that supported life. The human head, chest, abdominal cavity, and all four limbs had to rely on the dragon bone to support the connection. Once a person exerted strength through their entire body, it had to pass through the dragon bone.    

The dragon bone was like a bow, a taut bow. The more durable and elastic this bow was, the stronger the person's strength would be. However, the truth was that the dragon bone of most martial artists would become one of their weaknesses.    

Even some ancient strength training cultivators were still fatal weaknesses.    

This was because the dragon bones contained the spinal nerves. The nerves were complex and fragile. Once it suffered the impact and was cut off, the martial artist would basically be crippled. Unless one cultivated to the level of an undying body, even if there were top heavenly materials and earthly treasures... It was also very difficult to complete the complex spinal nerves.    

And the characteristics of the dragon bone were destined to be very difficult to cultivate. Martial artists could train their muscles, organs, and bones, but it was very difficult to train their nerves and bone marrow.    

Although Ling Feng's physical body was already strong enough, and he had opened the first three gates, and he had also experienced the Marrow Refinement stage, but that was only the preliminary honing of the spinal cord. It was naturally enough in a battle between Martial King and below, but when it came to the real expert at Martial Emperor... Still not enough.    

Even if his current physique was comparable to an expert at Martial Emperor, it was still only comparable to an expert at Martial Emperor, and he couldn't truly reach the Martial Emperor Level.    

The third Gate of Pain that he had opened could at most injure the expert at Martial Emperor, but it couldn't cause any fatal damage to the expert at Martial Emperor.    

In the Eight Inner Hidden Gates, the Gate of Healing was the replenishment for Tempering Marrow.
